Question

I’m using the Twitter API atom format

http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=Name&:)&since:year-month-date&rpp=1500

but it’s only returning 100 tweets, I tried using the JSON format as well, but it only returned 100 results. Is there anything that I’m doing wrong to only get 100 results?

Answer 1

Yes, you’re limited on the number of results per page. In order to get more results, you have to use the page parameter like so:

http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=Name&:)&since:year-month-date&rpp=1500&page=2

EDIT

rpp: the number of tweets to return
per page, up to a max of 100. E.g.,

http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?lang=en&q=devo&rpp=15

page: the page number to return, up to
a max of roughly 1500 results (based
on rpp * page)

Source: http://search.twitter.com/api/

In other words your rpp won’t work as you expect because the max is 100.
